A well-written advertisement and job description can help attract the most qualified candidates when hiring cleaners for your business. The more prospects know about your specific needs, the more likely those responding to your ad will be prepared to discuss what they can bring to the job.

Job Description

Write a detailed overview of the requirements the cleaners must meet. Include things like whether sanitation requirements -- such as a restaurant’s health department guidelines -- must be met and whether there's any heavy lifting. Be specific about experience levels and references as well as tools, supplies and equipment. Make sure to mention they must have the required licenses and permits, which vary by location.

Seek Referrals

Ask business associates and others in your industry about their cleaning crews. First-person referrals can save money on advertising and provide solid references about the quality of work being performed. Consult your service suppliers and vendors for recommendations as well. Employees can also be good sources of referrals. They can often vouch for the reputation and work ethic of people they know personally or have worked with in the past.

Ad Placement

Post the job opening on the company website and place an ad in your local newspaper. Consider using an Internet job board as well as online business networking accounts and trade publications to get leads. If you must pay for your ad by the line, include brief points on the essential qualifications and provide the full description upon request. Provide online and telephone contact options to make it easy for interested parties to reach you.

Cleaning Company

If you want to hire a cleaning company rather than individuals, contact your local Better Business Bureau or chamber of commerce to get referrals on qualified business cleaning companies. Contact the ones that meet your specific needs and ask about rates or send out a request for proposals to qualifying companies.
